One of my favorite things about Fall is everything pumpkin. I try to be a seasonal eater, so I'm not usually eating pumpkin bread or cookies any other time of year. Therefore, when Autumn rolls around, I want to take advantage of the season and make some pumpkin-forward foods, especially desserts.

The recipe I'm making today is filled with things I love - acorn squash, wild rice, mushrooms, pecans, and dried cranberries. It is hearty, healthy, and delicious, making it perfect for an Autumn dinner.

We are on number ten of my Self-Development Book Club books. If you haven't been following along, at the beginning of the year, I set a goal for myself to read or reread at least one self-development book a month and then share it with you. What is this month's book? Atomic Habits by James Clear.

If you need a themed food for a Halloween gathering, you are in luck! This year, I'm making Jack o'Lantern Hand Pies. The best thing about these hand pies is their versatility!

Nothing says Autumn like a trip to the local apple farm for cider and donuts. I love the fresh donuts they often have available. I'm talking about those simple sugar & cinnamon fry cakes, and they are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I recently found a recipe for Apple Cider Donut Cake, and that is what I'm making today.

Today I'm taking a zucchini recipe I used in my summer farmer market meal post, and giving it a little facelift to use it for my favorite squash, butternut!

It's apple season! I love a good apple crisp or apple pie, but I'm in the mood for something different. Today I'm trying a new recipe for a French Apple Cake. Sounds good, right?

If you have been keeping track, we are on number nine of my Self-Development Book Club books. If you recall, at the beginning of the year, I set a goal for myself to read or reread at least one self-development book a month and then share it with you. What was my ninth book? Outer Order | Inner Calm by Gretchen Rubin.

Is there anything better than homemade ice cream? This ice cream is great on its own, topped with chocolate and nuts, or as a side to your favorite baked dessert.
